Description
In 1942, the Washington Post reported the approval of funds for the Federal Works Administration (FWA) to construct more than two miles of water mains in the Congress Heights neighborhood in SE Washington DC. While there is currently no evidence that funds were cancelled, we have not been able to verify the completion of the work.
